Material Handler

Job Description

Insight Global is hiring four Material Handlers to support an aerospace manufacturing customer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In this role, you will serve as a critical link between the stockroom (inventory) and the production floor, ensuring a steady and accurate flow of materials to keep production running efficiently.

Day-to-day responsibilities include kitting materials from the stockroom and delivering them to assigned production lines, as well as retrieving completed assemblies and transporting finished goods to the appropriate downstream areas. Each Material Handler will be dedicated to supporting one of four commercial aviation product lines, playing a key role early in the product lifecycle—before components become finished goods.

The ideal candidate thrives in a Lean manufacturing environment, is self‑driven and proactive, and takes ownership of their work. Success in this role requires someone who not only executes with accuracy and urgency, but also thinks creatively about improving processes, material flow, and efficiency.

Schedule:

• 6am-3pm schedule (2 open)

• 7am – 4pm schedule (2 open)

Essential Functions:

• Deliver raw materials, parts, and consumables (fasteners, packaging) to workstations in a just-in-time manner to maintain uninterrupted workflow.

• Support and sustain efficient production flow within assigned work cells, often configured in U-shaped layouts, ensuring technicians and assemblers remain focused on value added assembly tasks.

• Remove finished goods and empty containers from workstations and transport them to designated areas to maintain organized and efficient workspaces.

• Manage and monitor Kanban cards or visual signals to trigger timely material replenishment and maintain inventory levels at workstations
